Muskego Transponder Key Programming
Call Us: (262) 661-7019
Since transponder key programming is a specialized service and requires certain equipment, many people assume that a dealership or mechanic is required. While a small amount of transponder chips are dealership locked, and therefore do require a specific dealership to program them, our locksmiths have identical equipment to what they use and can therefore program and duplicate 95% of the transponder keys that our customers bring to use. Our locksmiths can program or reprogram your transponder chip key in a short period of time once we arrive at your Muskego, WI location.
If your vehicle is equipped with a transponder key, then when you insert the key into your ignition cylinder, it sends a code to your engine’s immobilizer. If this code matches the one sent by the engine’s computer, then the immobilizer will disengage and the vehicle will fire up. If the code does not match, which can be the case if your chip gets scrambled or erased, then even if your key appears undamaged and fits into the ignition lock just fine, the vehicle’s computer won’t recognize it and the engine will refuse to fire up. Or it might only work intermittently. In these situations,
